Buckingham Lake, also referred to as Buckingham Pond and Rafts Pond, is a body of water located in a residential area of Albany, New York. It has a surface area of five acres and a mean depth of three feet. The lake is adjacent to Buckingham Lake Park, a small recreation area with picnic tables and playground equipment. Three fountains help aerate water during the warmer months, while ice-skating often takes place on the lake's frozen surface during the colder months. Wildlife at the lake includes ducks and Canadian geese. The lake is surrounded by a gravel path that is a few feet wide. Streets which border the lake include Euclid Avenue, Lenox Avenue, and Colonial Avenue[1].
